When Your Soul Sings

We have opportunities to experience joy on any given day through out our lifetime.  As I experience those moments now as an older adult I tend to slow down to relish the feeling even longer, as my appreciation for these periods has grown tremendously.  There are many things that can bring us that feeling of overwhelming happiness and it can come from the simplest of things to the most complex of them.  For the foodies of this world, perhaps it is the taste of the best comfort cuisine that wakes up your senses and sends you to another place in appreciation for what you just savored.  Then there are nature enthusiasts, who feel their hearts jump with delight when they are in front of a beautiful waterfall or perhaps at the top of a majestic mountain with a view that could last for years.  Let us not forget that the laughter of a child can be music to the ears of many folks as well and when we hear this we can all agree that most of us smile as soon as it happens around us.  Then there is the first time parent who is introduced to their newborn child and when they first see their baby with utter amazement the bond is immediate and embedded into their soul, as the moment fills a heart with abundant elation.  The examples are so numerous that one could write out complete volumes of encyclopedias with them, however, I think you get the picture of what I am trying to convey.  I have termed these moments for myself "when your soul sings", because it feels like this other part of you gets connected to something beyond what your eyes can see and draws from this great feeling of happiness that almost has no words for it.  If you believe in God, then you can also relate to that feeling where prayer, meditation and simply being in the presence of something much greater than yourself, can transcend a moment that at times may feel much longer and filled with euphoric and peaceful joy.  The key thing to remember is that the more you look for those things to be part of your daily experience, the more the law of attraction becomes present in your life.  What takes a bit of practice is to begin collecting all of those small moments of joy, as you string them together into greater lasting amounts.  When you think about the time that you are left with the remaining days of your life, it would only seem appropriate that you make calculated choices in selecting to live your life with more of an abundant bliss.  Because there are many things in our world that are tend to sap our energy and can bring us down emotionally, I think it is even more important now to counter all of that momentum with an opposite more appealing one.  Therefore, I do hope that many of you will make a more determined effort to screen more of the right things in your life and be present in the presence of a joy filled experience. Ultimately, I hope that all of it will provide you with ongoing opportunities which will allow your soul to sing consistently as well, as it reaches for even higher notes in the future.
